Magnolia Pearl

Monday, January 29, 2007

I've posted before about Magnolia Pearl - it's Robin Brown's shop of her bags and clothes that...well...you just have to see. These are "I'm queen of the world" clothes, not "going to the store" clothes. Soooo feminine and frilly and luxe.

She's featured in the January issue of Country Living in an article about tea staining, which I've been interested in trying for a while now. What I'd like to do is find some lovely but quite-used white linens at an antique shop or estate sale and try it. Something I haven't seen before is that the article in CL says that if you want a really dark stain, to soak the fabric in water that has a capful of fabric softener added to it before doing the tea process. Hmmm...

I keep going back to the Magnolia Pearl website to see how Robin decorates her home. Ohmystars. Yes. Love it.

I care for ourcat named Eugene Walter, three bantam hens who go by Tallulah, Zelda, and Nelle Harper Lee, and about a thousand red wigglers in a compost bin (each blessed with the name of an outstanding landsman).

I am a Creative Director at a magazine. I like to make things look fab.

I try to be a curator of kindness, goodness, and interesting experiences.
